First Year Residence Halls

Breathtaking views of Lake Champlain everywhere you look. The scenic ridge of the Adirondack Mountains in the distance. Fall foliage that brings the world to Vermont every autumn. Welcome to your new home.

Have your pick of the finest residence halls, like our 19 beautifully restored Victorian-era mansions that surround the campus. All first year students will start out here, and many students find their distinctive charms so appealing they choose to stay for years.

For more modern surroundings, you'll find suite-style residence halls on campus and in the nearby Hill section or in deluxe apartments a little further off campus. No matter where you end up, your housing selection at Champlain will be completely different than anything you'll encounter at other campuses.

And yes, all residence halls, including the Victorian-era mansions, have wireless internet access, and students have access to a shared gigabit connection as part of Gig College.
